tench class

ive seen it before but i cant find it in the faq section, but i was wondering if the tench class subs will be included since very few actually made patrols?

I don't see why not. They were identical to the late-model Balaos except for a better dive depth.

I don't think they will make into the game. From what I've seen and heard we'll only get the Gato and Balao class.

One can only hope

"I don't see why not. They were identical to the late-model Balaos except for a better dive depth."

Was that the only difference? Why was the tower such a different shape?

Thanks for the explanation. I thought you were yelling at me real loud.

My answer was going to be "good question-I don't know", but I like the other answers better.

Because that photo was taken between the '50s and '60s or so (I'm not quite sure). This conning tower was installed after the war ended.

That was a post war expemant. The G.U.P.P.Y(Greater Underwater Propulsion Program). A program started to see if the Gato/Balo/Trench classes could be made to par with the type XXI U-Boat(ie. modernized)
